The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee added two seats to its front-line initiative as it seeks to flip control of the House of Representatives in November, even as concerns mount at the top of the Democratic ticket.
The DCCC added the candidate for New York’s 22nd Congressional District, John Mannion, and Virginia’s 7th Congressional District, Eugene Vindman, to its “Red to Blue” initiative, which aims to help boost candidates seeking to flip GOP-held seats or hold on to Democratic seats where an incumbent is not seeking reelection.
“John Mannion and Eugene Vindman are exemplary public servants who have dedicated their careers to serving our country and their communities. Voters can trust them to always be vocal advocates for their districts and our democracy,” DCCC Chairwoman Suzan DelBene (D-WA) said in a statement Thursday.
“I look forward to working with them to reclaim the House majority and get Congress back to work to deliver for the middle class,” she added.
Mannion and Vindman join 25 other candidates in the program, which has its sights set on 23 Republican-held seats and four seats held by outgoing Democrats. The DCCC program gives candidates “organizational and fundraising support to help them continue to run strong campaigns,” according to the committee.
